Being the age of the BLOGGER, we must report that this page is no longer updated as of 2011. Many vacationers to Abaco including folks of the sailing / boating cruising community choose to post their adventures on their own blogs specifically. AND Frankly year after year it's pretty much the same thing. However to get a feal for things you would be mistaken to overlook the best of the best stories posted here as all are informative and contain useful travel tips and info. Quite a few are worthy of literary significance and most have great pictures.Note: Abaco Escape's Update Page (AbacoUpdate.com) still continues with information deemed informative or out of the ordinary and is posted when applicable.

Vacation Stories:These are unedited first hand reports with pictures from the Abaco Message Boards. When a trip to Abaco is not in your immediate plans, these stories will take you there and where you can relive an Abaco Escape vicariously through the experiences of others. Our trip stories used to update the home pages of AbacoEscape can be found at AbacoUpdate.Com.

As for Abaco:
A post by LrryT, Larry & Cathy of Zanesville, Ohio, put it this way."...........................
There is something intangible and unique about Abacos. The trip reports help to create an objective image, but to all who read this and have not made the trip, the experience of being there is even more magical than the photos. Hard to describe adequately in words and little pictures.
A post by Hobie1, Bruce & Lesley of Pasadena, Maryland says it all.
"........................... Well I thought this site (a Message Borad) had some people who seemed just a little over enthused about a vacation destination. Now I fully understand. This place has grabbed me heart and soul................... I can't say I came home from there. I feel "there" lies my home I never knew existed... Hope that doesn't sound too corny... We're already discussing our next trip.
